lowered the bridge.
now i need to raise it a bit, as my action is non existant. but thats ok. nothing a couple washers won't fix
and then i just need to do a bit more routing for the pickup pockets.
but in the end she is going to look like this.
possibly with a matched headstock.
hmm

Maple, its from a Squier Affinity Series Tele® (Special Edition)

and that guitar now has a jagmaster neck off of it (current production run)

put the jagmaster neck back on. that 'maple' one has just seen a ghost.

the jagmaster neck isn't off of this body.
its off of a different jagmaster that now has a 25.5" neck on it. instead of the 24" conversion.

Serfx... pulling up this thread to find out about your neck fit. I've got a teleguar project I' m about to start and I want a tele neck reeeeeeeaaaaaalll bad. But according to shad's extensive research it's a no go. Did you shave it at all or did it just fit right in? The body I'll be using is a jagmaster so if it worked for you, it should work for me, yeah?

there is a little bit of a gap, nothing that worries me, but yes it has a rounded heal on it.
i was actually working on this guitar a little bit yesterday.
what i've found by using the tele neck is that i need to raise the bridge about 3mm or the strings sit right on the 15th fret and no trus rod adjustment has changed that for me yet.

why not shave the back of the neck a few mm?

No biggy duder.
I gotta find a tele neck for the bastard anywayz. I might get one of those strat paddle necks and try cutting a tele design out of it.

yeah... but according to shad's science a tele heal won't work in the jagmasters slot. Somehow Serfx defied the laws of physics, clearly. So it's almost gotta be a strat neck I guess... lamezors.
